Hacking Ideas for some homebrew?

[david432111]

What about a Wake-On-LAN app for the Wii that is able i.e. to wake your PC hosting all your media files for Mplayer-CE.
I started already a topic for this (see here)

Maybe your're the man for this....

I'll look in to it.

And please people, when I said homebrew I didn't mean "reverse engineering the system menu" I meant homebrew.

i thought wiicrazy was already making a wake-on-lan app?

A DOS-Emulator
That would be awesome!
It would be great to play Jazz Jackrabbit on my Wii!

there are several DOS emulators, please visit wiibrew.org once in a while and check out the "aplications" section

QUOTEMAME

please visit wiibrew.org once in a while and check out the "aplications" section

Well, give me a link, because I can't find any DOS emulaters, except for one that's in progress but probably abandoned

im thinking maybe a hack that will let u hack in wiiware games... if thats possible... games like bomberman blast would be awesome! and maybe if possible, make a hack to enable more wii disk space, cuz 256mb just isnt enough for me

if not possible, then oh well, i'll live with it

hmm. the wii memory for a start is 512mb. and its not something you can hack to improve, its a hardware... i'm not sure if anyone has tried changing the storage with a higher capacity yet though.

perhaps something like a chip that renders the 512mb memory unreadable and replaces it with the soldered on memory. it could just be like a micro sd card reader so its compact and will fit in there. but i have no idea, i'm no genius with hardware mods lol



QUOTE(tj_cool @ Feb 26 2009, 01:23 PM) Some more ideas:
-DS Download play app
-GBAtemp app with reviews/...
-Friend code manager app
-DVD (movie) loading from disc channel
-Load vc from SD/USB

1. (DS download play app). i thought nintendo was bringing something out that allowed you to hear the sound through your tv for games like elite beat agents or uendai. it wasnt anything visual though. i dont know if thats really possible but then alot of things here were claimed impossible but came through lol.

2. (gbatemp app? with reviews?) dont get that.

3. the friend codes are different for each game and are stored in the save. alot of these saves are rendered un-copyable by the wii so that they cant be edited and hacked although i know there are a few ways around that now. why would you want to manage them? surely it'd be easier to load the game and add a person...

4 (DVD disc channel) nice idea

5 (vc sd loading) isnt Nintendo supposed to be bringing out support for that in the next update?



and my own idea... an app like this:


(thats http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ewMNgiTQ30 if that never worked

The Wii isn't coded to read more than 512 mb so there's no point replacing it with a bigger one

Bit more explaned:
1. Channel with DS demos / other stuff to download on your DS
2. Stay in touch with the latest GBAtemp news and read GBAtemp exclusive reviews
3. Easy to view all your friend codes and those of friends
4. Read DVD movies through disc channel, no special app needed to start every time
5. Nintendo doesn't have plans on that Afaik. Saving directly to SD when buying in the shop is what they will release

corrected the vid

ta for the correction

1. the nintendo channel lets you download ds demo's and such, think thats all it you can do though.

2. get ya now on the gbatemp thing.

3. ahh, a handy tool indeed, friend codes would still need to be retrieved from saves though which might be tricky if they are all located in different areas of each unique save.

4. i got number 4 anyways lol

5. what a pointless load of crap. maybe they're worried that someone could easily hack an wad to work like twilight princess save hack did. i mean its completely possible with all the tools out there right? lol

Yes, but that channel is related to Nintendo
We could add our own demos or simple ds homebrew, to test it for example

 

[MikeyTaylorGaming]

that would be the 'and other things' you mentioned then eh?

sounds good. i havent heard of many hombrew ds games recently... or any general homebrew actually. but i havent really had a search for it to be fair

 

[TheEnigmaLiesbro]

What about a "homebrew browser" styled app that can be customized to load from other websites...

Erh.... don't know how to name it exactly...


For instance, my website wifistadium.com is a nintendo oriented site. We host tournaments, have events, etc; And the homebrew community is decent there.

So what if there was an app kinda like the homebrew browser that was made for wifistadium so that I, as the admin, could update the site side of the homebrew and the users could connect to it with their "wifistaidum channel" and get updated information about coming events, tournaments, leader boards, new homebrew apps, etc; they could download new homebrew from it just like the homebrew browser, but it could be only homebrew that my particular site would want to put on its channel for download.

On the sites side, i could modify it as much as i want, graphically, downloads and info, so when the users log into their channel all the new stuff gets stored on their SD card (just like the HbB).

But make the app customizable with instructions so anyone could do it with their own sites. GBAtemp channel, Wifistadium channel, WADder.net channel etc; etc;

I know its probably not something that would be extremely useful but its still a nice thought. I think the homebrew users on my site would enjoy that.

Windows for Wii

GAH! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!

Not Windows. Windows sucks. We have Wii Linux. Why is not good enough for you?

Plus, Windows is WAY too heavy for the Wii.

make it so that ftpii runs in the background of the system menu....

 

[computerboy]

make it so that ftpii runs in the background of the system menu....

He said nô reverse engineering

 

[mariogirotti]

i thought wiicrazy was already making a wake-on-lan app?

He tried but didn't manage to create sockets for a UDP connection... then 3 days no news and only alternatives for web services was given.
So I think stoped trying to get this to work...;(

Anyway.. I gave the link to the initial topic so both can get in contact

 

[blitter]

I would like a stopwatch type thingy. Can someone let me know if this already exists.

Running hours/minutes/seconds
Running up from zero or down from preset time.
Pause function.
Choice of silent or tick.
Alarm. Set at zero, preset time or at set intervals (eg: every x minutes alarm for y secs)
Attractive large display and intuitive to operate.

If nobody is doing this (david432111?) it would be a nice distraction for me =]

 

[caporale214]

how about the ability to use wii speak when you leave the wiispeak channel
(i dont know how this could be done but i think it would interest alot of people)

 

[Cygoku]

Sokoban.

[tj_cool]

This ain't the "you are banned" game

 

[Phratt]

Dreamcast emulator?

I mean i REALLY wanna play cannon spike. Also you guys may say its impossible for X reasons, but same was said for a backuploader, same was said for the GC back uploader, same was said for loading from the disc channel.

Anyways, if not that, then maybe a skype app? Like the PSP has? All you have to do is use a USB mic and you can call other wii's, friends and family and blah blah blah.

 

[KiiWii]

An emulator (i think its MAME) to play this: ALIEN: THE GUN

And all other decent/retro arcade shooters with a decent wii handcannon/zapper config.
